Is there a style that uses a stool/small chair as a weapon?

At the time the horse bench studies were devised, so was the horse bench. The training associated with the horse bench can be adjusted to accommodate the types of furniture we presently find in bars, restaurants, and in the home. All it takes is the willingness to study, adapt and improvise.

As all the other types of weapons available through the arts, there was a time for all of them. Now, such studies present core concepts that can be applied to similarly shaped objects. We don't have to have exactly the same weapon in order to apply the same concepts associated with those weapons. We merely need to have the training associated with them.

What i've learned of flexible weapons, i've learned through the study of the nunchaku and the manriki-gusari (weighted chain). From these two, i can adapt to work with just about any flexible weapon, including whips, ropes, and multi-sectional objects (yes, even folding chairs).

The concepts are what are needed to be learned, not merely the various stupid weapons that are clearly no longer feasible to wield or carry. So, don't dismiss a weapon just because it is archaic. These are tools for learning, most of which present 'groups' of core concepts that when utilized together present interesting outcomes.
